The State of the Butterflies in the United States: A Colorado Viewpoint
Declines in insect abundance are increasingly being documented in recent years; however, additional insights about the geographic scopes and implications for specific groups and species is greatly needed. Butterflies have some of the most geographically widespread data available in the United States due to long-term monitoring programs and community science efforts across the country. This talk will summarize a study focusing on the Mountain-Prairie region and provide illustrative examples of butterflies occurring in Colorado. Additionally, we'll hear how these findings can reinforce the importance of existing conservation efforts and what we all can do to take action.
Steve Armstead is a pollinator conservation specialist for the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation in Colorado. His work focuses on management and creates high quality, connected, and climate-resilient pollinator habitat. Steve has collaborated with local communities, land managers, community organizations, and other pollinator conservation organizations to explore ways to expand and leverage support for pollinator conservation throughout the state. He has over three decades of experience working in natural lands management, environmental planning, and community engagement. Steve co-authored the Colorado Native Pollinating Insects Health Study for the Department of Natural Resources.
